★★★★★6 years agoThis is a very rare UNESCO world heritage site given to a city and refers to an area of about 1800 hectares of the city of Bordeaux! It includes the Garrone River (which contains Pont de Pierre), the entire stunningly classical and neo-classical façades of the The quay side. It's also including the almost three hundred and fifty historic monuments (statues, buildings, churches, etc). I wasn't aware of its impressive listing until I visited here! Spend a week here and you're still discovering "treasured monuments" hidden in plain sight! Glorious place to explore and experience it's stupendous historical significance.
